Corpo Atelier is a Portuguese architectural studio focused on the exploration and expansion of the architectural anatomy.

Presented project, titled Between Two White Walls, celebrates whiteness and geometric lines. As the name suggests, two large white walls on the sides set clear boundaries and provide sufficient privacy, meanwhile they set a powerful frame for the cubic residence.

"Between them, an architectural inner landscape of cubic shapes, each arranging a single function, provides a sense of security and protection while carefully framing the distant landscape. Only a horizontal volume, containing the swimming pool, contradicts this logic projecting itself to the South, emerging from the walls to offer a possibility of volunteered exposure, for a brief moment, before returning to the house,” explained the architects.
